*
Now the LORD called to Moses ,
and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to the children of Israel ,
and say to them : "
When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD ,
you shall bring your offering of the livestock--of the herd and of the flock .
* "
If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd ,
let him offer a male without blemish ;
he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD .
*
Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering ,
and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him .
*
He shall kill the bull before the LORD ;
and the priests ,
Aaron '
s sons ,
shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting .
*
And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces .
*
The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar ,
and lay the wood in order on the fire .
*
Then the priests ,
Aaron '
s sons ,
shall lay the parts ,
the head ,
and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar ;
*
but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water .
And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice ,
an offering made by fire ,
a sweet aroma to the LORD .
* "
If his offering is of the flocks--of the sheep or of the goats--as a burnt sacrifice ,
he shall bring a male without blemish .
*
He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD ;
and the priests ,
Aaron '
s sons ,
shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar .
*
And he shall cut it into its pieces ,
with its head and its fat ;
and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar ;
*
but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water .
Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar ;
it is a burnt sacrifice ,
an offering made by fire ,
a sweet aroma to the LORD .
* "
And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the LORD is of birds ,
then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons .
*
The priest shall bring it to the altar ,
wring off its head ,
and burn it on the altar ;
its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar .
*
And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side ,
into the place for ashes .
*
Then he shall split it at its wings ,
but shall not divide it completely ;
and the priest shall burn it on the altar ,
on the wood that is on the fire .
It is a burnt sacrifice ,
an offering made by fire ,
a sweet aroma to the LORD .
* "
When anyone offers a grain offering to the LORD ,
his offering shall be of fine flour .
And he shall pour oil on it ,
and put frankincense on it .
*
He shall bring it to Aaron '
s sons ,
the priests ,
one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense .
And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar ,
an offering made by fire ,
a sweet aroma to the LORD .
*
The rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron '
s and his sons '.
It is most holy of the offerings to the LORD made by fire .
* "
And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven ,
it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil ,
or unleavened wafers anointed with oil .
*
But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a pan ,
it shall be of fine flour ,
unleavened ,
mixed with oil .
*
You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it ;
it is a grain offering .
* "
If your offering is a grain offering baked in a covered pan ,
it shall be made of fine flour with oil .
*
You shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the LORD .
And when it is presented to the priest ,
he shall bring it to the altar .
*
Then the priest shall take from the grain offering a memorial portion ,
and burn it on the altar .
It is an offering made by fire ,
a sweet aroma to the LORD .
*
And what is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron '
s and his sons '.
It is most holy of the offerings to the LORD made by fire .
* "
No grain offering which you bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven ,
for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering to the LORD made by fire .
*
As for the offering of the firstfruits ,
you shall offer them to the LORD ,
but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet aroma .
*
And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt ;
you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering .
With all your offerings you shall offer salt .
* "
If you offer a grain offering of your firstfruits to the LORD ,
you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire ,
grain beaten from full heads .
*
And you shall put oil on it ,
and lay frankincense on it .
It is a grain offering .
*
Then the priest shall burn the memorial portion :
part of its beaten grain and part of its oil ,
with all the frankincense ,
as an offering made by fire to the LORD .
* "
When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering ,
if he offers it of the herd ,
whether male or female ,
he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD .
*
And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering ,
and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting ;
and Aaron '
s sons ,
the priests ,
shall sprinkle the blood all around on the altar .
*
Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD .
The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails ,
*
the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks ,
and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys ,
he shall remove ;
*
and Aaron '
s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice ,
which is on the wood that is on the fire ,
as an offering made by fire ,
a sweet aroma to the LORD .
* "
If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the LORD is of the flock ,
whether male or female ,
he shall offer it without blemish .
*
If he offers a lamb as his offering ,
then he shall offer it before the LORD .
*
And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering ,
and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting ;
and Aaron '
s sons shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar .
* "
Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering ,
as an offering made by fire to the LORD ,
its fat and the whole fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone .
And the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails ,
*
the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks ,
and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys ,
he shall remove ;
*
and the priest shall burn them on the altar as food ,
an offering made by fire to the LORD .
* "
And if his offering is a goat ,
then he shall offer it before the LORD .
*
He shall lay his hand on its head and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting ;
and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar .
*
Then he shall offer from it his offering ,
as an offering made by fire to the LORD .
The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails ,
*
the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks ,
and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys ,
he shall remove ;
*
and the priest shall burn them on the altar as food ,
an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma ;
all the fat is the LORD '
s .
* "
This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings :
you shall eat neither fat nor blood ."'
*
Now the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to the children of Israel ,
saying : "
If a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which ought not to be done ,
and does any of them ,
*
if the anointed priest sins ,
bringing guilt on the people ,
then let him offer to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish as a sin offering .
*
He shall bring the bull to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD ,
lay his hand on the bull '
s head ,
and kill the bull before the LORD .
*
Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull '
s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting .
*
The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD ,
in front of the veil of the sanctuary .
*
And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD ,
which is in the tabernacle of meeting ;
and he shall pour the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering ,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting .
*
He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as the sin offering .
The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails ,
*
the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks ,
and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys ,
he shall remove ,
*
as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering ;
and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering .
*
But the bull '
s hide and all its flesh ,
with its head and legs ,
its entrails and offal --
*
the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place ,
where the ashes are poured out ,
and burn it on wood with fire ;
where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned .
* "
Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally ,
and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly ,
and they have done something against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which should not be done ,
and are guilty ;
*
when the sin which they have committed becomes known ,
then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin ,
and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting .
*
And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD .
Then the bull shall be killed before the LORD .
*
The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull '
s blood to the tabernacle of meeting .
*
Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD ,
in front of the veil .
*
And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD ,
which is in the tabernacle of meeting ;
and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering ,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting .
*
He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar .
*
And he shall do with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering ;
thus he shall do with it .
So the priest shall make atonement for them ,
and it shall be forgiven them .
*
Then he shall carry the bull outside the camp ,
and burn it as he burned the first bull .
It is a sin offering for the assembly .
* "
When a ruler has sinned ,
and done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the LORD his God in anything which should not be done ,
and is guilty ,
*
or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge ,
he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats ,
a male without blemish .
*
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat ,
and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD .
It is a sin offering .
*
The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger ,
put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and pour its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering .
*
And he shall burn all its fat on the altar ,
like the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering .
So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which ought not to be done ,
and is guilty ,
*
or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge ,
then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats ,
a female without blemish ,
for his sin which he has committed .
*
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering ,
and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering .
*
Then the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger ,
put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar .
*
He shall remove all its fat ,
as fat is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering ;
and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma to the LORD .
So the priest shall make atonement for him ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
If he brings a lamb as his sin offering ,
he shall bring a female without blemish .
*
Then he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering ,
and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering .
*
The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger ,
put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar .
*
He shall remove all its fat ,
as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering .
Then the priest shall burn it on the altar ,
according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD .
So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath ,
and is a witness ,
whether he has seen or known of the matter--if he does not tell it ,
he bears guilt .
